Yeah like the guy who thought he would be rescued from the Swiss cheese cave.. while trapped in an airpocket. He survived for weeks in there before he died, nobody could save him because they didn't know where he was, and didn't want to get lost themselves. He was only found later when a cave wall was blown in from an unrelated excavation. But he was already dead at that point.

As a surfer, I’ve rescued countless tourists swimmers that get caught in rip tides. There’s signs on the beach warning of rips! Many times it’s apparent that they have zero real ocean experience!

This has happened to me as well and it's a really tough in so many levels. We were diving in an open-pit mining that is closed since many years. Its a great place to dive because of fresh spring water coming up from the bottom and there is very clear vis there. It's also a very popular place for swimming and go to chill down hot summer days. There young boys were playing and jumping off the cliffs and swam quite far out. Suddenly one of the boys go under and isn't coming up. We were in the other pit and suddenly a guy is calling for us and wants out attention and help. We didn't hasitate to try to help out. I as the most experienced pulled everyone together to try to make a quick plan and what search system to use but the other divers didn't really understood what I talked about because they were newly certified ow-divers. We jumped in but due to their inexperience and being very stressed they kicked up so much silt and the vis was absolut zero. Even if we knew where he went down we couldn't find him. It's was later revealed that we were at the correct place but he was stuck under a big boulder or cliff. If this happens to you please try to do a simple rescue plan and follow it. If you feel anxious and stressed don't do it. I honestly would rather had done the rescue attempt myself because of my buddies being way to inexperienced. Also remember it often very hard to see people that have drowned because they die in absolute panic and their eyes are wide open, so avoid eye contact at any cost. If it comes to retrieving a body, just don't do it if you don't have the right education. It's really hard if the vis is bad and the only way to find them is to feel them. It's not nice to feel bloated and has started to decompose. I did this because I'm a former paramedic and knew I would have a chance to resuscitate the boy and I have seen plenty of dead people and been trained to treat sick and dying people and take care of deceased. I give absolutely props to people that wants to help out but sometimes the best help is to stay on the surface and help out from there. Also if you feel it too much for you or you can't handle it, don't do it! We don't want 2 bodies to retrieve. Also this rescue is amazing and so many of the odds were on their side that day. Thanks for the upload and the reaction.

I think CPR should be universally required too. Like along with a drivers license or with graduating high school like you said. It’s a very important life skill that you hope to never use, but are more than thankful to know if you ever are in that situation and need to perform. Anyone can do it, but it does take proper training to do it well. You’re going to break ribs, you’re not just pushing lightly, you’re pumping that chest, hard. I’ve been an EMT for a long time. You’d be shocked what people don’t know, even just basic first aid stuff. Hope you’ve never needed your skill set but always good to stay up on!

@@Stephaniemickle I think CPR should just be switched to straight compressions and have it as part of PE classes in high school. It seem's every 5-10 years they are changing the program and i think that puts people off. When i started it was 5 initial breaths then 15 - 2 for an adult and 5-2 for child, Then they ditched the 5 initial breathes and went with just 15 - 2 for everyone, as woody said now its 30 - 2 for adults and 15-2 for child. I've had to do CPR once there were do of us and within 3-4 minutes we knew we were fucking up the breaths but just carried on. The ambo's were able to revive the lady in the hospital.

I’m new to your channel. This is the best video I have seen yet. It perfectly highlights the difference between an experienced, cave certified diver and an untrained novice. I am just a recreational open water diver, but I’m an ER doctor so I have a bit of insight into the medical side of this story. Hyperbaric chambers can be used to treat drowning victims, even if decompression sickness is not a major problem. A major consequence of drowning is that the lungs become saturated and inflamed. This makes it difficult for oxygen to cross from air to blood in the lung. Due to this, doctors will have to use higher pressure ventilator settings to get oxygen to cross, and that will damage the lung tissue further and make it even more stiff. As you know, in a hyperbaric chamber at higher pressures there are vastly more oxygen molecules per volume of gas. This allows oxygenation with lower volumes of gas, reducing the lung damage. At higher pressures there is also diffusion of oxygen into tissues (most importantly the brain but all organs). On a dive this is a problem but in a hospital it can be a treatment for a patient whose injured lungs cannot keep up with the demand.. There could have been some concern for decompression sickness but the chamber was likely used more for this reason.

I can't even imagine being on that situation, I have had scary moments as a diver not for me being stupid or taking stupid decisions but because of a poor instructor I remember that really got me scarred was diving a plane wreck at 140ft down right after our Nitrox class the instructor decided that we had to dive at 140ft with Nitrox 32 with a PO2 of 1.6 I was the only one who measured the oxygen present in the tank and I set my dive computer for a 1.4 PO2 when I was going down I got the alert of my computer and I went back up fighting against a strong current in the middle of the ocean and I surface about a couple miles away from the boat, that instructor could have killed 15 divers that day pushing recreational divers to 140ft with Nitrox 32... thankfully no one suffered any injuries but they could have been... It is hard when you are new and you are trusting your life in an instructor that can't even follow the book...

Instructors are helpful to have around. Ultimately my survival is MY responsibility. I was on a dive a while back as a newbie, maybe 20 or so total. Using their gear my Reg was leaking on inhale. It got worse the deeper we went. It was a fairly shallow dive maybe 60' at the most. I stayed shallower around 30' so if I had to bolt I was safer. An Instructor noticed me and checked me a couple times I pointed to the Reg and gave the So So signal. After a while it started leaking a lot more and I switched to the backup which seemed to work well...Luckily. I then dropped with the rest of the group once I felt I was safe and comfortable.

I wish you guys know how much I appreciate this video. I couldn't compose myself to write about it before but discussing this rescue gave me so much information in case where's a drowning victim. My father, who was the one who taught me to swim, drowned during the visit he came to see me, before he saw me. His body was found 7 days later. Where I used to live, the sea can be very dangerous, especially if one underestimates the sand dips and currents. He drowned less than 5 meters away from the shore... and as a kid, I used to witness swimmers calling for help.

I just saw a Woody Jasper interview and he said the reason he kept his equipment in his truck was just practicality. He didn’t feel like unloading and reloading that stuff every time he wanted to dive or the tanks needed refilling. He fashioned the back of his vehicle to keep his rigging there at all times. Loved his interview! Seems like a super cool dude with a ton of stories! Those divers have no idea how lucky they were to have a man like him within shouting distance.

Amazing that the divers hadn't gotten very separated. Imagine this scenario if one, just one, had gone down the other passage in the confusion. Two of them being found together but not stuck was a boon too. Thanks for your amazing share.

Incredible reaction. I mean this was in real time, no second guessing himself, no sticking around to see if they pop out in a minute or two.

People who go out on rescues, tend to have their gear ready to go any moment, because time is critical. It is not at all surprising to me that his gear was in his the truck. That's probably where his gear lives full time. These divers used up a lot of their lifetime allocation of luck that day. Mad respect for the quick actions that saved two of them in literally the nick of time.

I found this channel bc of ur reviews on Mr Ballen's cave diving tragedy videos, and absolutely it. I'm not only not a diver, I have a fear of very deep water, especially the ocean. Luckily I live inland in south Ontario, Canada, in between 2 Great Lakes - Ontario and Erie. They're more than big enough for me for a short boat ride or fishing trip. I used to watch Rescue 911 religiously w my parents and sister when it was on. Amazing show that taught me a lot about safety, situations to avoid danger, and how to respond to certain situations. I ended up working in a nursing home and then w developmentally disabled adults for a group home agency, both required First Aid - CPR certification. That taught me a lot more. Ur definitely right about training taking over. I worked w a wide range of individuals w many different needs. One person had a serious seizure disorder that required we remain calm and take control of the situation. Others had serious behavioral issues which required us to have specialized training in physical intervention including take down and floor restraint.

That went from a horror story to a miracle very unexpectedly quickly. That that particular rescue diver was there and had his gear is incredibly lucky. And that they were both brought out so quickly by that true hero, cause that’s what the definition of a hero is to me, is amazing. Even though only one of them survived that was a great story. I heard of another story where a experienced diver was doing a body recovery down a several hundred metre hole and unfortunately died himself. But when they pulled up his safety line he came up with the dead diver he was attempting to recover. In his last moments he had secured the body to himself.

A side point: I almost imagine it must be worse, having to recognize that if you were to try to help someone you would endanger yourself too much, and in some cases you have to let them drown, or just pray that they find a "safe spot" like in this case until someone properly equipped and trained can arrive. Even if i KNEW it was the right call, I would probably be tortured by it. Also glad you are showcasing these incredible people who don't get the attention they deserve for their skills and heroics.
